FYI If you haven't known about batik yet, batik is a traditional resist dyeing technique using wax coating during the process of making the pattern in a piece of fabric. That's the reason why it's sold per piece, not per meter.
There are 2 types of handmade batik in the market: "batik tulis" or hand-drawn batik which is 100% handmade (almost no repetition in terms of pattern) and "batik cap" or hand-stamped batik which is also handmade but with help of copper stamps, make the production faster and more affordable in price (with repetition in terms of pattern).
The bag shown in the picture is using the hand-stamped one.
* The real batik does NOT use printing method. Batik itself is one of a dyeing method to make a pattern, so any other method is not the same as batik. You may often see batik printing in the market with a very low price, those might be a machine printing fabric with a similar traditional pattern like the one we make using batik technique. So, batik printing is basically a printing fabric and it can't be considered as batik.
As an Indonesian living in Paris, I know that there are some confusions in the market about it and I hope this information will help you to understand it better to support every batik craftspeople around the world.
